Hi
What phone are you using?

100MB won't last very long.

normally you can if you have an iPhone, I used to do it when had the iPhone 4 but also had unlimited internet on my phone

don't remember how to do it tho as it's been 2 years since I've done it but I am sure you will find instructions online and if not hopefully @bandofbrothers will be able to assist you futher

and remember 100mb is not a lot at all

You can do it with a lot of phones it's normally called a personal hotspot which phone do you have

I have an android phone. an Hauwei ascend 300y. Just doing it as a test at the moment to see if my laptop will connect to my phone for tethering. If it will I was going to change my tarriff 

Turned phone on as wifi hotspot and computer recognises it. Keep getting a message saying limited access. It connects with a good strength signal but wont actually load a web page.

There is nothing on your account to restrict this so it could be a setting in the phone

Have you tried the phone on it's own first?

Yes had the phone a few months and been using my 100mb data allowance to search the net without any probs on the phone.

Hi

I'd suggest contacting o2 customer service on 202 to have your account checked.

As said though 100mb will not last very long at all when used to tether.
